for everything Russian, East European, and Eurasian at Illinois

International Night

REEEC was honored to be a part of International Night, an event celebrating the world’s cultures, at Booker T. Washington Elementary School on November 17. There were many students and parents dressed in traditional costumes, display boards about various countries, crafts, performances, and food. REEEC graduate assistant Stephanie Chung read the Russian fairy tale The Firebird to students and passed out Firebird bookmarks. What a terrific way for REEEC to reach out to the Champaign-Urbana community, and show appreciation for its cultural diversity!
